Salmon Burgers

This healthy salmon burger is delicately delicious…a true delight! The most common mistake people make when cooking salmon is to overcook it. The fish should still be pink or almost raw in the middle when done. Just don't overcook it and you’ll be fine. Also, use fresh salmon instead of canned to get a clean, fresh, wonderful flavor. Serve over a bed of salad greens or on a whole-grain bread and enjoy!

 

Ingredients (Serves Four)

  • 1 pound wild salmon fillet
  • 1 medium red onion, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon capers, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh  lemon zest (grated lemon peel)
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon dill, chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

Preparation

  1. With a large chef’s knife, chop salmon into small (1 inch) chunks – Do not over chop or the fish will get mushy…and nobody likes a mushy salmon :)
  2. Transfer to large bowl and gently stir in onion, cilantro, garlic, dill, grated lemon zest, salt and pepper and mix gently…DON’T OVER MIX IT!  
  3. Divide the mixture into 4 patties and chill in the frig for 30 minutes before cooking.
  4. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the burgers and cook until browned on both sides and just cooked through - 5 minutes.
Serve with a dollop of Ultimate Tartar Sauce…buen provecho!
